… or do we?!

For three nights only we’re breaking the rules and bringing out a film series just too precious for our typical weekend slot.

“A Week to Rule Them All”

Come for a special showing Monday, June 22 to Wednesday, June 24. Work from Frontier, take some extra weekend days, whatever you need to do, just be here! All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us… we choose movies.

The Skylos at Frontier were designed and built by Ronald Rael. His recent feature in Dwell highlights the groundbreaking work he’s doing with 3D-printing and earth-based architecture. We’re grateful to be a small part of the larger story he continues to shape.

Come see them yourself! Book your stay today.

Join us May 7-10 for a live graffiti art weekend at Frontier Drive-Inn!

The Frontier Drive Inn is a Colorado thing — the plains, the sky, the silence, the stars. So we invited local Colorado artists to paint our Nomadicana Airstream trailers, each one interpreting what the San Luis Valley means to them.

Come by, watch the work unfold in real time, and experience the space as it transforms.

Featuring:
Anthony Garcia Sr. • Jonathan Lamb • Will Barker • Sandra Fettingis • Douglas Hoekzema (HOXXOH) • Max Kauffman • Brandon Opalka

The Frontier Drive-Inn has partnered with Nomadicana to renovate five vintage Airstream trailers.

Meticulously designed with the level of detail you've come to expect from a Frontier room, each trailer is equipped with a queen bed, kitchenette sink, en-suite bathroom, heating and air conditioning, and a large deck.

Nomadicana has been featured in Dwell and Wildsam and is known for their western desert aesthetic.

"Every build starts with the trailer itself – understanding its history, its bones, and what it wants to become. From there we work through design, materials, and layout until every detail serves the space. It's a slow, intentional process, and that's by design." Nate Kantor of Nomadicana

Final touches are underway. Bookings are open now for summer and will fill quickly. If you have a date in mind, now is the time.

Something new is on the horizon…

Here’s a sneak peek at our brand new suites. These are still a work in progress, but we couldn’t wait to share!

For the first time ever, we’re offering rooms with king beds! Choose between one king bed or two queens. Adjoining rooms are optional, making these suites a great choice for families or larger groups.

Book now for May and be among the first to stay in these brand new suites!

You’ve stayed at Frontier Drive-Inn, but have you checked out our apartments at the Center Theatre?

Every apartment is designed with one-of-a-kind decor and custom murals by Bianca Maestas.

Stay tuned. Even more ways to stay are coming soon.
